"Figuratively what is happening is that we're reframing what's possible in prison," said chef Brandon Chrostowski. This program is about challenging and changing perceptions through culinary arts.
The program was born out of the belief that "every human being, regardless of their past, has the right to a fair and equal future," Chrostowski said, emphasizing inclusivity and opportunity.
Incarcerated men grow a range of fruits, vegetables, and herbs ranging from parsley to corn and beets, showcasing the transformation within the confines of prison through agriculture.
Greg Sigelmier, 40, an incarcerated person at GCI, expresses that the culinary program has helped him come out of his shell and gain confidence.
